AT&T brings smartphone-like upgrade program to fiber

Speeds and pricing are still core attributes of today's home broadband services, but service providers are continuing to expand into other aspects of broadband focused on better Wi-Fi and an overall improved customer experience. AT&T's fiber platform already has speed on its side, but the operator is putting more focus on in-home Wi-Fi with the launch of a new package called "All-Fi Pro." The new package features a Wi-Fi 7 gateway, Wi-Fi extenders, and an advanced form of ActiveArmor, an Internet security service that includes a home-side VPN. All-Fi Pro also provides AT&T fiber subs with the ability to upgrade their broadband devices every three years.
